¯ Notes from the Music Director¯
The month of October is seen as a month of change: leaves change colors and fall from the trees, temperatures fluctuate, crops are harvested, daylight shortens. In the Church Year, October also includes an important festival whose very name implies change – Reformation. To "reform" means to improve by correction of error – a change for the better! Since sin entered the world, Satan – the father of lies, has done his best to deceive humanity.
He loves nothing better than to see error and corruption build within the church. Martin Luther and the other reformers helped "reform" the thinking of the people by pointing them to the One who never changes – Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever! It is only by "grace alone, faith alone, and scripture alone" that we can know the TRUTH.
Martin Luther wrote many hymns, but his "trademark hymn" if you will is "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God." This hymn has become almost synonymous with Reformation festivals.
Within the verses, it is clear to see Luther’s conviction that the Devil, the father of lies is very active in our world, yet he is a defeated foe. God’s Word is what remains, for us yesterday, today, and forever!
A mighty fortress is our God,
A trusty shield and weapon;
He helps us free from ev’ry need
That hath us now o’ertaken.
The old evil foe now means deadly woe;
Deep guile and great might
Are his dread arms in fight;
On earth is not his equal.
With might of ours can naught be done,
Soon were our loss effected;
But for us fights the valiant One,
Whom God Himself elected.
Ask ye, Who is this?
Jesus Christ it is, Of Sabaoth Lord,
And there’s none other God;
He holds the field forever.
Though devil’s all the world should fill,
All eager to devour us,
We tremble not, we fear no ill;
They shall not overpow’r us.
This world’s prince may still
Scowl fierce as he will,
He can harm us none,
He’s judged; the deed is done;
One little word can fell him.
The Word they still shall let remain
Nor any thanks have for it;
He’s by our side upon the plain
With His good gifts and Spirit.
And take they our life,
Goods, fame, child, and wife,
Though these all be gone,
Our vict’ry has been won;
The Kingdom ours remaineth.
